A wine glass is a wine glass, right? Turns out, there are different glasses for different types of wine – and with a good reason.

Using the right glass will improve your wine experience  Because the shape of the glass changes how you experience the wine.

The bowl of a red wine glass is wider, to release the red wine’s aroma & flavor with the help of oxygen. White wines don’t need that much exposure to oxygen – so the glass is not as wide. What the white wine glass does have is a longer stem that drinkers can hold. White wine needs to keep it’s cool temperature, so if you would hold the glass by the bowl your body heat would warm up the wine!
